eggregiousness Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 OK I've ordered all the stuff my (2) chooks will need when they arrive next month. I have totalled everything up and performed a complex calculation It appears that the chooks will have paid for themselves by the time I reach the age of 187 - provided that I don't have to buy them any food after the one bag I have on order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 my husband says they are the most expensive eggs he's ever eaten :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 my husband says they are the most expensive eggs he's ever eaten :lol: But they do taste so yyy and there is nothing nicer than cooking a brand new fresh egg plucked from underneath one of your own ? ?? indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggregiousness Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 I'm not going to think about any more. Why do I have these crazy ideas? Maybe they are the most expensive eggs- but hopefully they are laid by the healthiest and happiest hens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I never worry about the cost of the eggs, they are my pets, the eggs are little presents they give me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggregiousness Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 That's it! The eggs will be just a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beulah59 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Load all the cost onto the first egg - my first egg will have cost us about £250 ... but the rest will be free - until I buy the next bag of feed, anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggregiousness Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 My goodness - that egg was a bargain! I've spent a lot more than that..... Internet shopping is TOO easy! Despite my misgivings I am really eggsited about the new arrivals! Coop to arrive a week on Friday. Chickens a few days after that. Just one small blot on the horizon - I haven't actually got round to telling my husband what I've done......I'm a bit scared to be honest......

simon_blackwell1 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Ha ha, yes - they are extemely expensive. Eglus cost a fortune and all to save money on eggs!!! Fortunately chickens make great pets, which is where I push all the cost in my imaginary book keeping so the eggs work out cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The good lifers Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 oh, think of how much people spend on pooches! the price of an eglu alone pays for a pedigree! and dogs don't lay eggs!! EGLU.... Because you are worth it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
